The Song of the Day.
Aie—" When Johnny comes March
ing Home."
When bold volunteers oome marching home, Hurrah, Hurrah! Returning from their warlike roam,
Hurrah, Hurrah! They've captured Te Whiti, so dirty and
■gritty, Aud stormed the great Parihaka city; And they'll all sing out When the Bands shall play them home.
The people turned out all in a mats,
Hurrah, H< rrah! The tall, the short,the lean, the fat,
Hurrah, Hurrah! The women all cried out with joy, my boys; The maidens looked bo coy, my boys; And they all hurrahed When the men came marching home.
The talk last night was military quite, Hurrah, Hurrah! ,:. Te Whiti, old Tito, and Tohu, the brave,
Hurrah, Hurrah! They'd been and caught the bold Hiroki, And had placed him in a Pakeha chokey, And they all sang out When Hiroki was marching home.
Now, citizens, all just listen tome,
Hurrah, Hurrah! Let's get up a ball and glorious spree, Hurrah, Hurrah! We'll toast 'em and feed 'em, And dance 'em and sing 'em, . > And praise 'em, and flatter 'em, and dine'em, and about 'em, For they've all come back once more.
